This is an updated video for the one I made two years ago... well I think it was two years ago. The instructions are pretty simple and I'll try to link the old video to this one as a supplementary video with instructions. Now please bare with me because I recorded and uploaded this video directly through my iPhone 4. Well I hope this goes as easy for you as it did for me, Cheers.

P.S ohh and I noticed some people have ripped my video i.e. they downloaded it and posted it up ad their own, not cool mates.
***Old Description***
Tired of having the same ol' standard ringtones for your iPhone? Tired of having to pay for ringtones with limited selections? Well check this out: Okay this may sound like it's hard but it's really really easy and it'll save you a butt-load of money! Here are the steps;
1. Pick a song you want as your ringtone.
2. Pick any portion of the song you want but remember it can't be longer than 40 seconds. Write down when that portion starts and when it ends.
3. Highlight that song and right-click to the "get info" tabb. Then go to the options tab in that same window and check the boxes that say start and end times. Here is where you use the times you've written down.
4. Click okay, then make sure that same song is highlighted and then go the advanced tab up top. Click on the "Create AAC version." (This creates the same song but it's only as long as the length you set it to).
5. Find the new version of your song and drag it to your desktop. Go back and delete the ACC version of your song because you won't need it anymore and change the start and end settings back to normal of the original song.
6. rename the extension from "songname.m4a" to "songname.m4r" (all your doing is just changing the last letter from a to r). Your computer may say "are you sure" YEAH YOU'RE SURE!
7. Almost done, okay find your iTunes library and go look through your music library for a "Ringtone" folder (it'll be same fold where you'll find the artists name folders). and just drag your file in the ringtones folder.
8. Open up iTunes and go to file, click on add to library and look for the ringtones folder and add the new item, and PRESTO!!! You have yourself a brand new Ringtone for your iPhone
